Product Information
Name:Melanin - fungal (Ganoderma lucidum)
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Melanin - fungal (Ganoderma lucidum) is a high-molecular-weight polymer, which is derived from the fruiting body and mycelium of the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom. This compound is a biopolymer formed through the oxidative polymerization of phenolic and/or indolic compounds, a process catalyzed by tyrosinase. The mode of action of this melanin involves its ability to absorb harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby acting as a potent antioxidant and protective agent.
